Boris is blasted for ‘get stuffed’ cuts outburst
emerged yesterday as relatives appealed for sightings.
Another missing resident is dad-of-four Tony Disson, 66, who left a heartbreaking final message.
He lived on the 10th floor with wife Cordelia, who has been searching for him since the blaze. His son Lee, 47, said: “People called my dad and said, ‘Put a blanket over your head and get out’. He said he couldn’t as he was trapped and the floor was too hot.
“A friend rang at 4am and one of the last things he said was, ‘Tell my sons I love them.’”
A mother who filmed a terrifying Facebook live video while trapped in her 24th-floor flat is also feared dead. Mum-of-two Rania Ibrahim, 30, spent six minutes capturing the shocking scenes on the mobile phone.
She later sent a Snapchat message in Arabic to a friend at 2.45am which read: “Forgive me everyone, goodbye.” Rania is believed to have died alongside her daughters Fathia, five, and three-year-old Hania.
It is believed Rania’s husband Hassan Basha was in Egypt on holiday at the time and has rushed back to London.
Eyewitness Murhaad Haad, 42, said she was screaming, “Help, help, help” before she was “overcome by the fire”.
Family friend Suhair Sharif, 55, added: “Rania and her two children are still missing. We have not heard from her since the video ended.”
Fathaya Alsanousi, who is in her 70s, was stuck in her 23rd-floor flat with her son Abu Feras, 38, and daughter Esra Ibrahim, 35.
All three are missing, as are schoolgirl Jessica Urbano, 12, and Filipina pensioner Ligaya Moore, 79.
Berkti Haftom, 30, and her 12-year-old son Biruk have also not been seen since the blaze broke out. BORIS Johnson has been criticised after footage resurfaced of him telling a rival complaining about fire service cuts to “get stuffed”.
The Foreign Secretary made the blunt rebuke in 2013 when he was London mayor.
The outburst came after Labour Assembly member Andrew Dinsmore asked him: “How can cutting fire stations, cutting fire engines, cutting firefighters’ posts, not be a reduction in fire coverage? You’ve lied to the people of London.”
Johnson responded: “Oh, get stuffed.”
He apologised at the time but London Labour MP Wes Streeting said: “The words ‘get stuffed’ pretty much sum up Boris’s attitude to all the concerns that were put to him about cuts to police and the fire service.”
